A JOKE ON CHURCH.
He Pays Dearly for Vetoing the
GODher Bill


Gopher Bill.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON May 27.-Judge Bliv-
ms. of Minnesota, says: Il see that our
title, The Gopher State is being taken
away from us by the enterprising Dako-
tans. That ought to be called the
Gopher Territory"
''What has" occurred in the gopher
line recently?"
you ought to read the papers. They
are full OF the gopher-tail act of Da-
kOta'S legislature. 1t seems that. a men,
Der of the legislature introduced and
had passed a timely act for the
determination of those little ter
rors. Gov. Church was too humane
man to allow such a wholesale slaugh-
ter of the innocentS as was contem-
plated, and vetoed the bill. Now it
seems the gopherS have ruined all of the
seed the governor had On his Beadle
county farm. And, as an additional ar
gument Oh the gopher question, the
Ramsey county man who introduced the
bill has killed 800 gOphers anyway and
sent their tails to the governor. They
think that the joke is OH the governor.
| remember the early days when those
little pests used to run all over my farm
and eat all there was of value on it.
They were worse than millions of
locuStS. Minnesota was well named on
account of her gophers: but Dakota Will
more than rival her if she keeps on.
"How many additional inhabitants
are expected to be added to the grand
total this Year,
1T is estimated, believe. that we
VIII get about $4,000 immigrants, foreign
and domestic, this year. The sanguine
believers Ill Dakota expect great many
more more some guessing even as high as
100000. But that is prep0sterous. AS
l said before, we have passed the trans
it0ry boom period, and are ENJOYING q

IS THERE OIL
Beneath the Surface in the Devils
Lake Region.

Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Mai. Peabody
scripped thousands of acres of land in
North Dakota in 1884. in company with
William d. Eaton of Chicago. Referring
to the recently reported discovery of
petroleum in the Devils Lake country.
the genial major says:
There is nothing in that country that
VIII ever surprise me. If the report
were to come to Washington that a dia-
mond bed had been discovered on NV
land, I'd believe it. With North Dakota
all Things are possible. am certainly
not amazed to hear of the oil find.''
did you ever see any indications of
oil out there?''
Cant say that | ever did. But we
own nearly ali Rolette county and part
of Bottineau. in the Turtle mountain
country, and it is land full of coal
There is no better coal land in the coun-
try. DunseitlI, the town which we
plated in 1884, lies at the base of The
Turtle mountains and is built on coal
land. Wherever you find coal. YOU
Know. you are liable to find oil. Now
there Is tract of land between Dun
seth and MinnewaukOn, Or Devils
Lake, that is literally soaked with oil
SeeplngS from the coal lands of the
mountains. Maybe a scientist would
state it differently, but that is about the
size of it. There are thousands of acres
of oil land"
is the country well settled in that re-
gion?" ''''''
Not yet, but settling fast. If we
only had proper railroad facilities for
the transportation of our coal we
wouldn't care if the country was never
settled. We intend to take our money
out of the coal, and not by tillage."
what is the matter with the soil?''
Matter with it? There is nothing the
matter at all. 1t is all as fine soil as Won
can find i'll. the Northwest. But there is
more pay dirt under the soil and quicker
returns than there happens to be on the
surface at present. The time will come
when the soil will be titled and support
many thousands of people,"
Are there any other minerals on
your land?o
"Oh, yes, plenty of them, but | was

WASHINGTON, May 27.-lt is safe to
say that the gentlemen of the territorial
press are slightly mistaken in their an
nouncementS OF the probable establish

Huron in the interest of Gov. Church.

Democratic paper will be estab-

and that it will be ably ham

organ of the governor, nor of any other
Democratic leader. twill be the prop

himself. There will be no doubt about
its Democracy. But it will not be a

DOOlllS.
PETROLEUM PROBABILITIES.
News from the Wyoming oil fields is
that the distractions in the test well
have been fished out and drilling can go
on without moving the derrick, as was
at one time feared. When the drillers
resumed work and drew the string of
tools, ii is reported that there was head
OF gas sufficient to throw the contents of
the hole above the derrick floor. More
important still, that there was gas
enough to flash, and that the oil was
different from the heavy residuum here
tofore found, being green, inflammabie
petroleum. Oil men will at once appre
ciate the meaning of this as bearing on
the question whether there is in Wy
oming any deposit of fresh oil from
which an illuminant can be prolitably
distilled. This news, if true, is the
most important yet brought from that
development.
GOOD NEWS
is vOuchsafed the Hills in the facts that
the condition of grass and crops was
never better, if so good, than now, and
that the spring round-ups of cattle dis
close losses little if any greater than
usual. Certainly. the country looks to
be further advanced by a month than
last year, although they say this is Il
late spring. have noticed that what
ever the weather in the Hills, old timers
agree that it is unusual" TwICEHoP.

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.
The People of This Country Are
Warlike and IndispOsed to Sub.

The People OF This Country Are
Warlike and Indisposed to Sub
nit to InsoIence.
Senator ingalls,.
In my Judgment we are in no possible
danger of war, either by land OF sea,
with any foreign power. L cannot now
think of any contingency from which a
state of war could result in the near flu
ture. All the great continental powers
are watching each other, and their re-
sources are exhausted in m obtaining
the balance of power in Europe. Our
only enemy on the planet is Great Brit
ain, but Great Britain has shown her in
disposition TO quarrel with lis in too
many ways during the last quarter of a
century to render it probable that she
will invite contest now.
The response that has been made by
the press Of the country shows that the
feeling of the people of the United
States rs martial and Warlike and ag-
gresSive; that they are indisposed to
submit to inSolence or eXactiOns from
any foreign power upon any DreteXt.
1t is my impression that the cOmmuni-
cation of this feeling to Great Britain
through the medium of our press has
been of immense advantage in develop
ing pacific purpose upon the part of
Great Britain. The fact that we
have a militia of between COCO, 600
and 100000. which could be armed
and equipped within ninety days, is a
factor in our condition which no nation
can afford to ignore, and which, in my
Judgment, absolutely protects us from
tae probability of any assault. Our re-
lations with France are those of tradi-
tional amity. Spain is helpless and
effete. Germany is united to us by ties
arising from the hundreds of thousands
of Germans who have allied themselves
politically to this country, and our rela-
tionS with Germany are fraternal.

highness never disregards her majesty's
positive commands when there is q fam
lily gathering in some vault or other for

meeting the queen unnecessarily, and

How an African King Lost a Wife.

In new book ON the Dark Continent
appears this paragraph: Kankune, the
Makanga king, was constantly killing
his wives. Two of these executions were
seen by Da Costa. In the second case
the king led the victim to the Revuoue
river. and with rope secured her firmly
to the bank, there to remain till the
crocodileS should come. About ten min
utes afterwards Da Costa saw one of the
bruts seize the poor woman, who vainly
struggled few moments before the
animal carried her off into the river.
